Photographer's Note

A daily scene captured on the shores of the basin of the Hindu temple "Maheswarath" located in Triolet, in the region of Pamplemousses.
The Mauritius Hindu temples are the place where the Hindu people come to worship the Brahman. The Hinduism is represented by the faith in Brahman, the absolute being, impersonal, creator of the Universe. The Brahman is the supreme ego. He can’t be defined unless spoken what is not. Going to the Mauritius Hindu temples you will find out that Brahman is described as infinite, omnipresent, omnipotent, intangible, transcendent reality, infinite conscience and infinite happiness. According to the Veda, Brahman has been existed and will be forever. He is in all the things but transcends all the things and he is the divine source of the entire Life. Is the divine absolute, all the Hindu religion’s gods are facets and incarnations of Brahman. The Mauritius Hindu temples are attractions for the tourists, as holy and worship places. hindu in mauritiusThe Mauritius Hindu Maheswarath Temple is situated in the Triolet city and is one of the island’s biggest temple complexes. It was built in 1850, is colourfully painted and with much bright white. The Mauritius Hindu temple is easy to be found on roads to Grand Baie or Trou aux Biches.

Hello Luciano,
A very beautiful and certainly colourful scene of the religious and daily life of these people.
The colours are also nicely reflected on the wet pavement on the foreground.
Best regards, Paul

Beautiful shot of this ceremony, Luciano, with vivid colors and a lot to take in. You've caught the worshippers in varied and excellent poses, demonstrating the action well. Perhaps a bit too much HDR for me, but these are all issues of personal taste. Lovely shot!

Hi Luciano
Ah yes, I could tell this was HDR the moment i first viewed it....it just has that look and feel to it.
And as we both know, some TE members love it, some don't like it at all - but thats great too.
the little girl on the left is the cutest of them all.
love how the rocks stand out, as well as the Sari in the middle.
nice shot as you always do!
cheers

A colourful DL Mauritian scene Luciano. Your shot includes a colourful collection of worshipers and their offerings. I do like the father.... he seems more interested in what is happening elsewhere than in making his obeisance! Have a great Sunday. Rosemary

Buongiorno Luciano,
The island of Mauritius is know with its Hindu large community, and their tradition is part of the rutine there - no wonder you encountered with.
Fine colorful saries and cloths, a private ceramony under way, so you stood in a respectable distance, yet managed a nice pic. about.
Buona Domenica,
Ike

Hello Luciano,
This is a superb DL shot. Love the reverence you have captured on the faces of these devotees as they pray. The items of offering like the coconuts and bananas are interesting as well. The traditional attire on these Indian origin people in a foreign country are very colourful. Fantastic presentation with a well written note. Thanks for sharing.

Subho

Good afternoon, this afternoon.
Interesting and good article about the place and time, nice view ...
Good time recording, sharpness and contrast, nice place and shown the moment of folk customs, beautiful colors.

For a moment I thought you had been to India or Nepal! Good daily life scene capture of the people in prayer with good sharpness and nice reflections in the wet pavement. Marvellous warm cold colour contrasts between the red and blue attire of the worshipers. Tfs!

What a superb capture of the religious ritual. I understand there is a large Hindu presence on the island, and one could easily have guessed this shot to be from mainland India. The composition, color and details are first rate.

Thank you for including these notes, which are an important addition to complement your photograph.
This is a most interesting and attractive shot. The small triangle of reflections is understated but has power beyond its size.
I love how we have the opportunity to study these people, unaware of your presence and devoutly lost in their very private thoughts. It is a real privilege to see them.

Hello Luciano.
A fantastic scene of daily life within the Hindu community, has attracted so splendid this group of people performing their prayers and offerings, delightful colors and details to recreate.
A beautiful job very well done.
With good lighting and sharpness.
Have a nice day.
Best regards.
Luis.

Hi Luciano:
This is such an interesting moment that you've captured brilliantly! All of the detail - the faces, hands, offerings, discarded peels - form a delicate cross-section of culture. Great use of colours too.
Cheers,
William

You're capturing well this Hindu ceremony at riverside by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the Indian prayers of adult and children who wear traditional clothes, and the offering, such as flower and food. It looks like the religious custom for Hindu people. And, it's also impressive in colorful clothes.

Hi Luciano,
Lively shot to show a group of believers that worshipping at the narrow space, their colourful traditional costumes are so beautiful, distinct photo, informative note and interesting composition, well done.

Hi Luciano!
This reminds me of India:)! Good daily scene, so colourful and with lots of details. They seem really concentrated on their prayers. Did you get any photos with the reflections? They seem really nice also.
